β-烟酰胺单核苷酸

β-Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is used to study binding motifs within RNA aptamers and ribozyme activation processes involving β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (β-NMN)-activated RNA fragments.
Nicotinamide mononucleotide ("NMN" and "β-NMN") is a nucleotide derived from ribose and nicotinamide. Niacinamide (nicotinamide,) is a derivative of vitamin B3, also known as niacin.) As a biochemical precursor of NAD+, it may be useful in the prevention of pellagra.
β-Nicotinamide mononucleotide (β-NMN) is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) catalyzes the condensation of nicotinamide with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate to generate β-NMN, which is subsequently converted to NAD+ by β-NMN adenyltransferase.At 50-100 µM, β-NMN has been used to enhance NAD biosynthesis and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in a Nampt+/- mouse model of metabolic disease, demonstrating a role for Nampt in β cell function.Furthermore, at 500 mg/kg/day, it has been shown to ameliorate glucose intolerance in high-fat diet-induced type 2 diabetes mice by restoring NAD+ levels.

A product of the extracellular Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (eNAMPT) reaction and a key NAD+ intermediate. It ameliorates glucose intolerance by restoring NAD+ levels in HFD-induced T2D mice . It also enhances hepatic insulin sensitivity and restores gene expression related to oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and circadian rhythm, partly through SIRT1 activation.

β-Nicotinamide mononucleotide  is  a  NAD+intermediate.  In  recent  years,  the  relation  of  NAD+metabolism  and  aging-associated  disease  is  attracting  attention  from  various  research fields.
Synthesis of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN)
A solution of NAD (3.5 g, 5.28 mmol) and ZrCl4(6.15 g, 26.4 mmol) in 500 ml water was stirred at 50°C for 30 min. The hydrolysis was monitored by TLC (SiO2EtOH/ 1 M NH4Ac [7 : 3]). The reaction was quenched with 245mL of a 0.5 M solution of Na3PO4. After adjusting to pH 7 with a 2 M solution of HCl, a white precipitate was formed. The suspension was centrifuged 8 min,1,000rpm, the supernatant was collected and the pellet was washed two times with 200 mL water. The combined supernatants wereconcentrated to 1/3 of its volume on a rotary evaporator. The remaining solution was purified with a column filled with Dowex 50WX8 (100-200 mesh, H+-Form, column-material: 2.5 x 30 cm). The column was loaded with 1.5 L5 % HCl and equilibrated with1.5L millipore water until pH 5 was reached. 100 mL of the concentrated solution was loaded on the ion exchange column and eluted with Milliporewater. The first cleavage product eluted was NMN (615 mg, 1.84 mmol,yield:35 %) and yielded a colorless solid after evaporation of the solvent, followed by AMP.
